Osprey photo medley
I’m not really sure why Loch Garton gets the big Osprey press, as opposed to anywhere else that has Ospreys, I suppose the reasons are historical, and it’s now just tradition. I am fairly sure that I wouldn’t see any more Ospreys there than I’m seeing here, or any more often. Every time I’ve been down to the reserve I’ve seen at least one Osprey, and today there were at least three hanging around.
In the morning I saw two fishing in front of the Gullery, one making a catch within metres of the hide. And for most of the rest of the day at least one of these superb looking birds was sat either on the large spruce, or on the favoured Osprey pole, on the other side of the reserve from the hides.
Thanks to the wonders of modern technology I’ve managed to highlight an Osprey that Mum pointed out to me in the earlier post’s Redshank picture. I’ve also put together some other Osprey pictures taken today…
-
- A great start to the day – I see this fish being pulled from the loch in front of the reed beds opposite the gullery hide
-
- The catch is taken away, probably to offer to some Osprey totty
-
- Then, a while later a second bird flies near the hide…
-
- Ok, so this is the same photo from the earlier entry today, cropped a little. Osprey 2 makes a catch just metres from the front of the hide. Fantastic stuff!
Life since the office 
Fabulous photos, you’re quite the whizz with a camera.
Perhaps you should devise a system whereby visitors can rate your shots?
keep you on your toes so to speak…wouldn’t want you getting lazy.
Failing that, more comments please people…even if you’ve no idea who Phil is.
I’ve never met him before in my life.

Aye, the camera does ok for a £150 deal offa Ebay, and besides, it’s hard to take a bad picture of an Osprey catching a fish.
There’ll be no rating of stuff, I appreciate the fact that anybody looks at any of this stuff at all. Comments are good, always glad to receive comments.
We shall have to get Mother to introduce us someday.
